Layering has been a part of art for years where the same word or image is used with more than one meaning. This technique is effective in communicating and packaging the message for different consumers. It inspired Kosmoratik to begin an experiment on layering in music. The group brought together Gunner Odd, Lise Lotte and Eivind Johansen to form a band based in Oslo back in 2011.
The first album was released in 2012 under the title gravitation. It captures a combination of symphonic pop and classic rock to result in an epic and sincere melody. It has a heavy inclusion of acoustic guitar, oboe and string quartet. These sounds are expertly combined to produce a musical delicacy that borders classical symphony. Such careful combination has resulted in an endearing melody that has won fans for the band across the world.
The second album entitled Bridges and Boats is inspired by the same concept and the desire to share their feelings or closely communicate with the listener. It is inventive and fresh with a heavy borrowing from the 60s and 70s pop music. This is the evolution era of the psychedelic rock which was considered thoughtful and progressive. The song writers and singers of that age were composed and deliberate in their production such that they produced excellent music.
The band uses music to explore interesting and complex themes. The lyrics of their songs enabled them to communicate different messages on the surface and behind those words. The influence of symphonic pop and the rock element makes their songs outstanding. Their rock becomes a blend of traditional and inventive styles. It feels like a classical symphony produced in a rock version.
Eivind Johansen has been with the group since formation and played a crucial role in its success. He is an excellent arranger who expertly combines the wind and string instrument sounds into superb melodies. This gives the music a unique and wide range that continues to win them a larger following with every track. The resulting ballads have an excellent pop feel.
Gunner is a talented guitarist and also excellent on the keyboard, among other instruments. He combines with Johansen to create excellent arrangements. The duo is responsible for the classical feel that is associated with the music of this band. Lise displays her vocal prowess by the ability to sway from classical jazz to alternate rock without straining. This seamless shift is as a result of a naturally wide vocal range and incredible years of professional use.
Bridges and Boats has been anticipated by the global audience following the success of Gravitation. Their performances across the world have been outstanding with their concerts filling to capacity. They cite John Martyn and Nick Drake as their major influences in their performance styles. They also seek to replicate the success of Beatles as a performing group.
Poetry is a unique part of their lyrical formulation. It is informed by poets who produced timeless classics and reigned supreme during their era. They included Hafez and Rumi. Their music is available online for live streaming and purchase. What makes this music to stand out is the ability to communicate easily by blending words and different sounds into a classical symphonic pop.
